lyrics

With her finger, she writes our names across the window pane inside of my car. She writes them backwards so the traffic passing by us knows exactly who we are. What the point is, I'm not really not sure. I try to her people don't read all that much anymore. But she says, "This window, it is see-through; if they don't read it, they can see me or they can see you." Oh, oh, oh, oh.

She's always sporting shirts with sleeves on which she so proudly wears me. But if she rolls them up, I might fall down. It's my own damn fault if I hit the ground. But she somehow doesn't mind when I rhyme all my contrived complaints in hopes the whole world relates to me. She says, "Your lonely voice is only so strong, don't let it echo so long that it travels away from me." Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Our names are still displayed across the window pane inside of my car, still written backwards so the traffic passing by us knows exactly who we are. And I never got the point, but now I think I know. If you love something, it's all for nothing if you don't let it show. You've got to learn to let it show. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
